MOE contract questions
Pegasus Program Teachers,
Please note that the following concerns/questions should be addressed to Scott Kim (scott@footprintsrecruiting.com) as he is essentially your Korean liaison with the MOE. All of the following issues can only be thoroughly answered by Scott and the MOE, as they are the MOE's responsibility and I have no control over the MOE process. So, if you are wondering/concerned how these issues are being handled, and when, please express your concerns to Scott. He will be able to answer you, and also will be able to alert the MOE to your concerns/questions.
Questions to ask Scott: REIMBURSEMENT, SETTLEMENT FEE, ORIENTATION, HOUSING and all MOE contract related questions...
Please remember, that you are an employee of the MOE. Unlike working in a private school, where we are able to have more contact with the individual schools and processes, when dealing with the MOE there are many more administration levels as it is the government. So, Scott is the one who understands the MOE process and knows who and how to contact the MOE and its schools about any questions/concerns. He also speaks Korean -- a big help. So, he really is your man if you have any MOE or contract questions/concerns.
Also, all of the coteachers are attending a meeting to get info to you about reimbursement, settlement fee, etc. If you still have questions after they have relayed this info to you, please contact Scott. Also know that it is in the coteacher's job description to help you in any way they can, in and out of the classroom. So, please do not worry about relying upon them, and asking them, for information. They are supposed to help you get settled -- in AND out of the classroom.
I hope this helps.

Also, as for what I personally can and will be doing: I am helping you teachers get connected with each other and familiar with the city as best I can, as this is part of the Pegasus promise to ensure you have the best time possible. The contract issues are Scott and the MOE's areas. The overall experience, the social side of teaching in Korea and communication with each other is MY area. (If you wish to alert me to any particular school/contract issues etc, that is fine. However, know that most of the time, I will simply have to pass these questions/concerns onto Scott as he is the one best equipped to handle them, and he is also the one dealing with the MOE.)
I am also still waiting to hear from Scott/MOE about the new orientation dates.
Cheers,
Tracy
